A Hard Decision

The Smiths are such a beautiful family.They have
three lovely children. One girl and two boys. She 
was eight months pregnant with a baby girl. They 
were very excited, but this bundle of joy could be 
a savior and a healer. Her sweet daughter Amanda 
was diagnosed with Leukemia two years ago; It had 
been so hard on the family.The doctors told her that 
Amanda needed a bone marrow transplant.Preferably 
they needed a blood relative.Both parents got tested,
the two boys,and other relatives,but no one was a match. 
They’re also part of the Bone Marrow Registry. They have 
not found a match yet, so the Smith's thought long and 
hard.They had to have a life to possibly save a life. After 
many days and long nights they decided to have another 
child. They were so tired of watching their baby girl suffer. 
The Smiths are so hopeful, but they have no idea if 
their bundle of joy is going to be a match or not………….............

This is a tragedy that one prays to go away with the coming of a new life. I send my prayers to the heavens to send soon the angel of mercy in the form of a newborn baby that would be a perfect much for the little sister. God bless you for caring, my dearest friend, Alexis! Hugs xxx

The serious illness of a child is one of the most difficult things parents could ever face. One must live each day with faith in God, because one can't know what tomorrow brings. Best wishes, my friend, Evelyn

It puts things into perspective when you read stories like this, it must be agonising for the parents. Tom
